A10 cycleway Cambridge - Network Rail want to close level crossing

[seraphina]

Just a heads up if anyone uses the new A10 cycleway between Royston and Cambridge - Network Rail want to close the pedestrian crossing permanently. This means cyclist will have to cross the busy A10 twice to get across the railway and back onto the cycle route - a total disaster and a poke in the eye for all the campaigning for the A10 cycleway.

What a lovely integrated transport system we have

Bonkers, isn't it?

I use the gates all the time - I've almost always got a child in the bike seat or a trailer, and heading northbound especially there's not really enough room for me to feel happy using the road level crossing with the kids. Cars are easily doing 50mph+ there. Southbound is a bit better as there's a wider "strip" across the tracks.
